A report came in about a car accident, and the caller mentioned that Snowden seemed drunk. When the officers arrived at the scene, they spoke with Snowden. Officers immediately noticed the smell of alcohol on her breath. Officers also observed her slurred speech, dilated pupils, and unsteadiness on her feet. Upon request, Snowden agreed to perform sobriety tests but performed poorly on them. As a result, Snowden was detained, and officers searched her vehicle.

Additionally, officers found a half-full Voodoo Ranger IPA in her vehicle’s backseat. Snowden chose not to communicate with the officers and refused a blood test.
